Resumen
Descripción
Forest and farm producers are women and men, smallholder families, indigenous people and local communities who have a strong relationship with forested landscapes for their livelihoods. Together, they account for 1.5 billion people globally, make up 80 percent of the world’s farmers and, in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, supply 80 percent of food. FAO will build on phase I of its Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) partnership with the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and IUCN to help producers safeguard climate-resilient landscapes and improve their livelihoods. Phase II will focus on tackling policies that are often at cross purposes with rural realities, sub-optimal economic returns from smallholder value-chains, increasing climate impacts, and weak social and cultural services. It will increase links to complementary programmes, accelerating the programme’s impact in 25 countries, and place special emphasis on gender equality, youth and indigenous peoples.
